Greenies Celebrate Christmas with 85th Annual Lessons & Carols

St. Joseph's Chapel was aglow in candlelight and filled with merriment Sunday as the Christ School community rejoiced in the Christmas season with the 85th annual Lessons & Carols service.

The holiday tradition has remained unbroken since 1933.

Father Kirk Brown, who is retiring at the end of the 2018-19 school year, gave his final Christmas Blessing as Chaplain to conclude a service with a dozen carols and nine readings. Per tradition, "Silent Night" was the final hymn sung by attendees, with the chapel lights dimmed so candles provided the only illumination.
